It's almost like animal behaviour, and I guess we are animals, just with language and ego".〔 In regards to their previous releases from a musical perspective, bassist Angus Gardiner likens the band's musical evolution evident throughout ''United in Isolation'' as "like a windy road that’s slowly becoming straight. At the start we were covering so much ground and now it’s all sort of funnelling into one direction".〔Jonno Seidler, (One A Day ), 23 March 2011〕 Adding to the discussion of the more focused musical direction of ''United in Isolation'', singer/guitarist Thomas Rawle said "I feel like people couldn’t really gauge our direction before (previous EPs ) but now they should have a very good idea of what we’re about".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United in Isolation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
